Please forgive my ignorance, but I'm not up on this stuff.  Does this mean 
that someone who wants to run Linux on a desktop can no longer buy the Red 
Hat distro?  If so, that's pretty amazing since a lot of us started out on 
the Red Hat desktop.

As some of you know, I'm a non-geek desktop user.  I wouldn't even have the 
know how to install Debian, for example.  But after starting out on Red Hat, 
then moving to Mandrake, I've recently installed SuSE 9.0.  I have never been 
happier with Linux.  SuSE is clearly the classiest Linux company I've ever 
dealt with.  In addition, the latest Kmail as well as the KDE CD burner are 
just great.
